Datsun, 240z, L28et, 1972 on 2040-cars
Hampton, Virginia, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1972 Datsun 240Z. This car is truly something special and the ONLY reason its up for sale now is because my parents are in some serious financial trouble due to hurricane sandy. They haven't been able to bounce back as soon as they have hoped especially with new issues arising with the house (joys of being a homeowner right?). So with that, on to the Z. It currently has an L28ET from an 1982 280ZX which runs great, compression test was done back in December I believe and it checked at 155psi in each cylinder (I was very surprised that it was so equal across all 6). Most of the swap work was done by the previous owner and anything that was not properly sorted out was corrected by Tidewater Z here in VA. At Tidewater Z the car was looked over by their mechanic/specialist with over 20 years of experience with Z's and he was blown away by the condition of the car. No rust issues, engine runs very smoothly, transmission and turbo run great with no issues. The car has been garaged by the previous owner and now myself as well. A lot of time (and $) has went into this car because I was preparing it to be with me for MANY years to come but unfortunately that won't happen. The car can be driven daily if you please but I drive it during good weather only. This car literally turns heads. It looks amazing. It recently won top pick at Springfest here in VA which was awesome since they had over 600 cars registered. It has new struts/springs/shocks (eibach), new alternator upgrade kit with new belt to deal with the proper voltage of the L28et, new exhaust with glass pack, new down pipe, all proper valve adjustments have been made, wheels have been properly CnC'd and balanced to fit (15x10.5). All lights work, interior was redone with new carpet in the rear, refurbished 15 gallon fuel tank installed with proper hoses so you have plenty of fuel for long road trips, new weatherstripping, new shifter bushings, new valve cover gasket, new braided steel lines for brakes (front brakes are from a Z31). Not sure what else to include but please feel free to ask. Again it has no issues with rust, not even in the notorious spots like near the battery or frame rails. This car was not intended to be sold at all but its keep it and watch my family struggle or sell it and actually help them. My mechanic has tried to talk me out of this as much as possible saying "you will probably never find a Z in as good condition as this ever again, especially with the L28ET" but family comes first. So here's your chance to own something special, I would love to sell this car to someone who can appreciate this car as much as I do.
The only "problems/work" the car needs: -Needs a fuel gauge -2 inch crack in front bumper (damaged in shipment, nothing awful but I was going to replace the bumper with the one that has vents if I was keeping her) -no radio (if thats important to you, I had no plans of ever adding one) Serious Inquiries ONLY, Please contact me for more pics or videos if you'd like. And Yes I actually do own this Z. Thanks for looking. |

Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
